Walk-Off Homerun@ Sea View Little League
6.13.15 - OVLL BREWERS 3, FVLL ANGELS
The Fountain Valley Angels came out strong with a lead-off single in the top of the 1st by Terrell Jackson. But Ocean View Little League’s defense wasn’t backing down. Second baseman Michael Pantel made a great backhand play to get the second out of the inning and hold the runner at third and starting pitcher Brandon Wood finished the deal by striking out the Angel’s cleanup hitter to retire the side. In the bottom of the first, the Brewers put the first run on the board off of Angels starting pitcher Sean Okawa with a single by Brewers Tristan Kennedy and a two-out double in the gap by cleanup hitter Nick Shenkman. With the Brewers leading 1-0 going into the second, the game turned into a pitching and defensive battle. Sean Okawa of the Angels was on a roll striking out 8 Brewers through three innings (Okawa struck out 14 batters total in the game). Okawa was also huge at the plate and sent one over the fence in the top of the 4th inning to tie the game 1-1. Defense and pitching continued to play a huge role in the game with Brewers Brandon Wood hitting his spots, striking out batters and getting ground balls. The Brewers left fielder Jaxon Potter tracked down a towering fly ball for a clutch out and Matthew Scully made a huge play at third base to get key outs in the 4th and 5th innings. The Angels defense came up huge as well with middle infielders Issac Salas and Paul Delacruz making big plays to get key outs in the 3rd and 4th innings. Catching on both sides of the field was also dominant as the Angels Terrell Jackson blocked balls in the dirt and kept the Brewers running game silent. Brewers starting catcher Tristan Kennedy was brilliant as well, as he kept the Angels runners from advancing throughout the game and anchored down his pitchers and defense.
Heading into the fifth inning with the game tied 1-1, Angels shortstop Paul Delacruz got things started with a lead-off double and came around to score the go-ahead run off of a hard hit ground ball by Chris Thorne. But Brewers closer Nick Shenkman held strong limiting any additional runs by striking out 2 to finish the inning. Heading into the bottom of the 6th, with the Angels leading 2-1, the Brewers were down to their final three outs of the season. Jaxon Potter got things started reaching base on a walk. Angels Okawa continued to deal, striking out the next two batters. With the Brewers down to their last out and Luca Pantel at the plate, the Angels brought in their relief pitcher to finish the game. The Angels reliever battled working Pantel into a 2-2 count, but Pantel came up huge with a walk-off 2 run home run to deep center field to catapult the Brewers to a 3-2 TOC Championship. It was an amazing game with outstanding plays on both sides.
